When their first baby is born with both female and male features, a young couple faces a huge dilemma: while he thinks they should assign a sex surgically to their child as doctors advise, she gets to know other intersex people and listens to their experiences, starting to believe that they should let their baby’s body as it is. Their differences go stronger and a decision has to be made, the most difficult of their life.
